2 1 ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NEUROSCIENCE, NEUROINFORMATICS, NEUROTECHNOLOGY AND NEURO- PSYCHO-PHARMACOLOGY We kindly invite you to participate in the 1 st International Conference on Neuroscience, Neuroinformatics, Neurotechnology and Neuro-Psycho-Pharmacology organized by the Romanian Academy - Romanian Group for Brain Research, Romanian Society of Neurology, the Foundation of the Romanian Society of Neurology, the National Neuroscience Society of Romania and the Romanian Society for Automation and Technical Informatics. The aim of the conference is to bring together experts from various areas of brain science, neuroscience, clinical neurology, psychology, pharmacology with engineers in systems science, neuroinformatics, computer science and technology in order to debate aspects of the brain and mind, to identify efficient theories, models and tools that will contribute to a better understanding of the brain and its functioning. The conference will be organized in Bucharest on November The opening ceremony and the invited papers will be presented in the main Hall of the Romanian Academy.
